Review: Easy to use - I had to clone a hard drive using SATA. Done the job easily. Plug the old drive in to the device and the new one in to the computer. Purchased a USB C to normal USB for the computer. Easy to use.
Review: Fantastic. All my old disc drives back to 2008 recovered - Have meant to do this for years. Got a grip this month and this kit has been flawless. With DiscDrill I was even able to access a NAS drive from my old WD My Cloud. Rapid transfer to modern drives. Also meant peace of mind because oftimes I had backups of backups. Now I know what I have and what I don't! It's not indestructible in build quality but a little care and it's been going non stop for me the last few days. Excellent.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this power 2.5" SATA drives via USB only and not require the power supply?**
A: I am wondering the same question, but I would find it strange that the power supply would be needed for a 2.5" drive.  2.5" (laptop) drives run at 5V (same as USB).  The power supply is a 12V power supply (which is what all 3.5" drives need: 12V power, thus they aren't able to be powered by USB).  Every other adapter like this I have seen and used did NOT require the power supply for 2.5" drives.  So, it is possible the power is needed, but it seems strange to me that it would be required.

**Q: does it work with External hard drives**
A: if you pull the external hard drive from its case it will work unless the internal hard drive uses an older PATA (EIDE) connector instead of SATA, anything from 2006 and above should have an SATA connector generally speaking.

**Q: Does this device support reporting of smart disk performance information back to the host?**
A: No. So sorry that we have no product can support reporting s.m.a.r.t (smart) drive information back to the host.

Any questions please contact us by mail.

**Q: Can i use this to connect an external drive to a home network drive? i have google wifi so i can't connect directly to the router.**
A: You can connect to anything that will accept a USB 3.0 or USB 2 external hard drive. You will have to check the information that came with your home network drive to determine whether or not that home network drive is compatible with an external USB drive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice bit of kit
*by I***. on 3 December 2024*

This unassuming piece of tech, just plugs in and works straight away. I didn't see any instructions in the box though, but it is obvious where the cables go and where the drive goes. Plugged it in and recognised the drive I had straight away and was able to recover the data from it.
